Uzbekistan robbed of a worldie

It was a fantastic attempt, and the disappointment comes from how close it came to being special.
 
The sensible take is that it was a very good strike and the hype comes from how late it happened. But football moments like this always spiral into bigger stories because people are desperate for a clean ending, and when they do not get one they start inventing one in their heads and suddenly every replay becomes a myth and every fan becomes a poet and every neutral acts like they have been personally robbed of something, which is why the internet goes completely mad over a ball flying just wide
 
I am not having anyone come in here and act like Uzbekistan somehow failed because that chance did not go in, they got themselves into the moment, they took the shot, and they nearly produced something incredible against Colombia at the death which is more than most teams manage in a whole tournament, and the lads deserve credit for that because a move like that takes courage and belief and a proper bit of quality and people only want to laugh when it misses but if it had gone in every single person in this thread would be calling it genius and talking about it for months so lets not be snide about a team that left everything out there and gave us a moment worth watching
 
That is exactly the kind of moment that makes people fall in love with football. It is not just the strike, it is the timing, the audacity, the sheer nerve to try it when the game is hanging there, and then it just gets better and better the more you watch it back, and honestly I am still annoyed it did not go in because it would have been everywhere and now we are all left with the feeling of almost and that is just brutal
 
nah that was ridiculous and i dont care if it didnt go in because the strike itself was enough to make everyone lose their minds and the replay just makes it look even more insane every time
